With the obvious intention Of creating
the impression that some OF those with the
opposition to ring rule in this parish have
combined TO secure their election TO the
different state and parish Offices to DO voted
for in this parish, he publisher Of tho " est
Monroe Union IN its last issue mentions
my lamc i'll connection with tho Office Of
State Senator. l am thus placed before
tho people III an attitude which | DO not

FROM tho time Of his advont into this par
ish, and having boon first against tho ring
ana now for If, tho political course Of the
editor Of the Union has been OF q character
To warrant the inpl;tati0n that no cannot
conceive that q citizen can take an active
interest in important political operations
and yet net be "ctuatod by Il greed for of
tice. Again in the Same issue OF his paper
he has chayact eri&cd the participants intho
West Monroe meeting as men Of unsavory
political records. Not for the information
OF the people, for they have not forgotten
but FOX the enlightenment Of the Unions
publisher, it can DO safely said that the
records as Democrats ana rs advocates of
White supremacy OF men like Berwick,
Rilts. Garrett and others who composed
that meeting were known and recognized
before this publisher had been heard Of in
Ouachita parish. Finally, should the VIII
ter and those friends whose names were
mentioned with his become candidates tor
Office they VIII submit their claims TO
majority Of tho White Democratic voters Of
Ouaclita Parish. Can the editor of tho
Union anC: his friends say as much?

Houses and the naath Rate.

Mr.. Noel A. Humphreys read paper OF
much interest before the Statistical society
on "Class Mortality" in which be drew at
tention to the fact that in the Peabody build
ings in London, which now accommodate
some 10000 persons Of the poorer classes, the
number of infant deaths has been reduced
seven per 1000 below that of infants in
London generally during the last I've years.
This shows, he said, how much housing has
to do with our rate Of death; and this is con-
firmed by the fact that the poorer classes
who live much in the open air, like gardeners,
nurserymen and agricultural laborers, attain
an average age almost as good as that of
clergymen themselves, in spite of their much
greater privations. 1t is impure air, in the
long run, which shortens life even more than
any other cause. 1t is pity that the insur.
ance offices and benefit societies cannot in
spect the houses Of their clients, and charge a
higher fee for insuring the lives of those who
live in i'll drained and i'll ventilated houses
than they charge for insuring the lives Of
those who live in we'll drained and well yenti-
lated houses What reform in house struc-
ture that might bring about. Boston Tran

Then Press Agent Day led the way up the
track which surrounds the two rings and
platform in the circus tent The performance
was going on, and the two clowns, one made
up as bear, were going through their really
comic maneuvers and limitations of the Blon.
din horse. Interesting as this bit Of panto,
mime was, it could not compare for pictur-
esqueness with the scene presented ON the
other side of the ring. There, stretched out
upon the hillside Of seats, was the oft heard Of
"sea of faces" Always rather startling to
one who beholds it for the first time, this
ocean of countenances sparkling with thou
sands Of eyes and looking SO white by con.
trast with the darker shades Of clothing and
the SCOT stained canvas now took on an as
pect doublY strange. In each face there sp-
peared to be a still whittier streak, q horizontal
line which seemed almost to glitter.
"There,n exclaimed the circus agent, "loob
at that for a half acre of teeth. That is a
scene TO make dentist weary, and in circus
is the only place you can find it. Theatre
audiences do not grin and show their teeth
like that, except up in the gallery, where you
can't see them. Walk along over there by
the reserved seats and you'll not see any such
display as this. The people who sit there
don't grin, either, or at least don't open their
mouths But even this crowd over here on
the general benches is nothing to what you
may see in the country. Look carefully and
you'll perceive that not more than one SPEC
tator in three is showing his teeth; in the
rural districts nine out of ten do whenever
anything really funny is going on in the ring.
If was to go to sleep for six months, and
you were to take me inside a circus tent in
front of the crowds, could tell whether we
werein a city or in country town by simply
noting the display of teeth along the benches"
